Government worker de-demonization

Trump, for all his ranting about the “deep state,” has allowed the American people to see that government workers are just … workers, that they are just like them; workers living paycheck to paycheck, trying to pay their bills and care for their children and other family members and also wanting to do their jobs. They’re not drones on perpetual coffee breaks, looking out only for themselves.

That description applies to Trump and his political appointees.
